LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER, LEXINGTON, KY., SUNDAY, MAY 3, 1992 U of L cutbacks reduce summer classes LOUISVILLE - Some University of °Louisville summer school students are unable to get many of the classes they wanted because the ~hool is offering fewer classes in response to $6. 7 million in budget cuts. , The university is offering ;tt least 300 fewer classes this summer than it offered last year. That is nearly a 17 percent decline, even though the number of students enrolled for summer classes seems larger than last year, said Kathy Otto, director of registration. She did not have enrollment statistics. As of April 20, .39 summer classes offered initially had been canceled. But the number of classes offered will change by the start of the first summer session May 18, she said. Some independent study sessions will be added and some classes will be canceled because not enough students signed up. · In some areas, a cut in money available for part-time teachers has reduced summer classes. In others, vacant professors' positions have been lost in the budget-cutting process, leaving fewer teachers to handle the summer load. Students' anxieties about their schedules apparently led to a record number of people trying to sign up early for summer classes April 17, Otto said. About 850 students registered that day, the last day of early registration for summer, causing lines and longer waits than usual.

LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER, LEXINGTON, KY., MONDAY, MAY 18, 1992 Why doesn't .UK recruit Kentuckians for scholarships?_ The University of Kentucky's recent recruiting class for men's basketball con­ tained not a single Kentuckian. This is amazing and disappointing, due to the success the 1991-92 team had with several Kentucky players. The main purpose of UK should be the education of Kentuckians. If young stu­ dents are recruited from Kentucky, they will, in all probability, stay in Kentucky and their education would benefit Ken­ tucky. Is the purpose of the UK athletic teams to furnish players for the pro teams or is it to educate Kentuckians? • Several of my family have graduated from UK, and I do enjoy the men's basketball and football games on the radio and TV. It would be nice to hear Kentucky hometowns mentioned when the teams are introduced. It would be good publicity for Kentucky. You have written a somewhat critical editorial about the football problem at Western Kentucky University. How about an editorial about Kentucky's state-sup­ ported colleges and universities giving more athletic scholarships to Kentuckians?
